Grana Padano (Parmigiano-Reggiano)
Grana Padano (Parmigiano-Reggiano) is a hard Italian cheese (traditionally Parmigiano-Reggiano) commonly grated over pasta, soups and salads for its intense umami and nutty flavor. It is a concentrated source of high-quality protein and minerals, particularly calcium — providing about 1184mg per 100g — which makes it useful for boosting calcium intake in small amounts. As a dense aged cheese, it delivers a rich protein profile and minerals but is also fairly high in saturated fat and salt, so it’s best used sparingly as a flavoring rather than eaten in large portions.
